Reports: Sugar Land, Dickinson natives among injured at SXSW

Updated 11:12 am, Friday, March 14, 2014

Sugar Land's Ashley Easley told reporters she "saw headlights, then woke up in her friend's arms" after being hit as an alleged drunken driver plowed through crowds at SXSW Thursday morning.

Easley, 20, told KHOU she didn't see or hear the approaching car as she stood outside The Mohawk. Her first warning was her friend's screams.

Austin police on Thursday night released a list of 19 people hurt in the crash on Red River and 10th Street.All were under 30 except for one.

Easley was on the list, along with Greg Cerna, a 19-year-old from Dickinson.

Cerna's family members told ACB13 that the UT student majoring in engineering and computer science suffered a mild concussion. He was expected to be released from an Austin hospital on Friday.

Police said Rashad Chajuan Owens, 21, an aspiring rapper who had performed at a club about a mile away from where police said he drove into the crowd, was jailed on two pending charges of capital murder and 23 counts of aggravated assault with a vehicle.

Authorities said the car had been reported stolen from Killeen.

The dead were identified as Steven Gerardus Craenmehr, 35, a Dutch citizen and creative director for Amsterdam-based MassiveMusic, who was on a bicycle, and Jamie Ranae West, 27, an Austin boutique clerk who was riding a moped with her husband, Evan West, 29. He remained hospitalized Thursday.

Massive Music had a tribute to Craenmehr on its website.

"It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our close friend and colleague Steven Craenmehr, 35, on March 13th, 2014 at SXSW. During the 8 years that Steven worked for MassiveMusic, we got to know him as an unstoppable force, full of life, love and laughter,"the website reads.

Witnesses have described a scene of total devastation, with people lying injured all down the street.Survivors administered CPR with at least one person being resuscitated as they lay on the road.

Reports indicate that three people remain in a critical condition at University Medical Center-Brackenridge, which is 3 blocks from where the incident happened.

"We are going to do our best for them, but these are some of the worst injuries that we see and not everybody with these kinds of injuries is going to survive," said Dr. Christopher Ziebell, the emergency department director in a Thursday news conference.
